Research interests

My primary research interests lie in the area of child language acquisition and development. My work is highly inter-disciplinary, merging insights from linguistic theory, language acquisition, developmental psychology, and developmental cognitive neuroscience. I aim to obtain a deeper understanding of how language, and particularly its grammatical, combinatorial aspects, emerge and grow in typically-developing mono- as well as bi-lingual children. I am also interested in the neuro-cognitive underpinings of this process and have studied children with certain neurodevelopmental disorders including Specific Language impairment (SLI), Developmental Dyslexia, Tourette Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
